Age, condition and availability play a big part in the value of these collectible bottles. Older bottles generally are worth more that the newer ones. But, you must also take into consideration the size of the bottling facility that the bottle came from. As for condition, remember that these bottles were made to be used over and over again. Many early bottles could have seen 50 to 60 years of service and still be a useable bottle! Over the years the bottles were subject to much wear and tear. The wooden crates they were carried in wore the heel and the embossing. Also, vending machines played a great deal on the wear on the embossing and the entire surface of the bottle. Premium quality bottles are those that show hardly any wear on the surfaces at all.

BOTTLE CONDITION

I use a scale of 1 to 10 to give an idea of condition of the bottle.
"10" would be an ultimate premium mint condition bottle. A "1" would be a specimen with described damage. Somewhere in the middle would be a "5" that has about 1/4" of wear on the embossing and around the heel. Most premium quality bottles will be in the "9" to "9+" range.
These will be bottles showing only a tiny amount of wear. Any unusual damage or wear will be described as best as possible.

The above items have been described to the best of our ability. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me at....tmbagget@gmail.com
